Touring Las Vegas and Its surroundings

A Canyon Country 4-in-1: This tour lets you experience the Grand Canyon by airplane, bus, boat and helicopter in an all-inclusive trip.

Depart by airplane from Las Vegas on the first leg of this Grand Canyon adventure. As you head toward the canyon you will experience stunning vistas of desert beauty and then the grandeur of the canyon itself. Upon landing at the Grand Canyon West Airport, you will disembark to board a helicopter that will whisk you from the canyon rim to the banks of the Colorado River, a 4,000-foot descent.

At the Colorado River you will board a pontoon boat for a cruise through the canyon. Watch for native wildlife as you learn how the mighty Colorado River carved out the canyon. At the end of your boat ride, you will ascend by helicopter to the rim of the canyon to join the Hualapai Indians for a "barbecue style" meal. You will return by airplane and then be transferred from the airport to your hotel by motorcoach. Special bonus: With the purchase of this tour you will receive a two-for-one certificate for a night flight over the Las Vegas Strip. The 12-14 minute flight includes complimentary champagne.
